> The “this model is too powerful for the general public” sounds like marketing to me

I tend to agree here. Anthropic has built a reputation and now they are in a position where they can claim to have a model way more powerful than it might actually be, and by limiting its access, there won't be an independent way to test it. I'm not denying that it's not smarter than Opus, but probably it's somewhat exaggerated.

Why are you all of a sudden running into so many issues like this? Could it be that all of the Anthropics employees have completely unlimited and unbounded accounts, which means you don't get a feeling of how changes will affect the customers?

Anthropic paved the path for agentic coding and their pricing made it possible for masses of people to discover and experiment with this new style of development. Their Claude Code plans subsidized usage of models so much that I'm sure they must've had negative margin for quite some time. But now that they have acquired a substantial user base, it makes sense for them to dial back and become more greedy. These quiet and weird changes to the behavior of Claude in the recent weeks must have been due to both this increased greed and their struggles with scaling.

What I wish for right now is for open-weight models and hardware companies (looking at you Apple) to make it possible to run local models with Opus 4.6-level intelligence.

@Anthropic I've cancelled my subscription. Good luck :)

Claude has definitely been amazing and one of, if not the, pioneer of agentic coding. But I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my Max plan. It's just not as good as it was.

The muted colors on a dark background makes everything hard to read.

An app could offer a more stable identifier compared to an in-browser guest session which might have its cookies cleared.

I don't think Markdown should be (ab)used as a programming language. It should be treated as a plaintext container that has some formatting to organize the contents.

If it is in a category dedicated to such content, I'd be fine with it. But ranked #4 on front page?

Who is the troll here? I asked a genuine question and tried to explain why I think this way, and now you're all toxic. Can't you take feedback? If not, then why did you post this project here?

The first impression I get looking at the README and the website doesn't suggest much effort went into it.

Just looking at the diagrams in the README, the broken ASCII suggests to me it either wasn't looked at or the author didn't care.

Question to Hacker News admins: Why does AI slop rank so high on the front page nowadays?

Increased use of terminal based coding agents must've really put a dent in their revenues.

Ask HN: Should a tl;dr be mandatory for long submissions?

docheinestages — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:23:45 +0000

I've been on HN for a while now and I truly enjoy learning about the ideas, perspectives, and breakthroughs everyone shares here.

But I've been recently struggling with reading through submissions that are almost like novels, often not having any clue about what the author is talking about because sometimes there is no tl;dr summary or the title is too cryptic.

What's made it worse is that a large number of recent submissions are partly or entirely AI generated.

So, I'm wondering how to deal with this. A HN client that automatically summarizes submissions? Or a mandatory tl;dr?

I stopped using JetBrains a couple years ago. VS Code is completely free and has improved quite a lot in recent years. IMO JetBrains should focus on doing one thing right rather than having so many products.

Does anyone know about a fully offline, open-source project like this voice agent (i.e. STT -> LLM -> TTS)?

I'm not disagreeing with your point. A good understanding of the domain and relevant systems is quite crucial. My point is that you don't always need to inspect the code at such low-level detail, provided there are tests or other ways to prove that the code behaves in the way that you describe.

I think it's important to be conscious of skill atrophy, but I don't see a problem with it if what you're offloading to AI isn't your area of focus. For instance, I don't necessarily want to always know what tricks the compiler is using to compile my program, even if they are pretty smart.
